There are nearly a dozen alternative ways to spell the word. People do it to get around the online censors.
I don't know who coined the term, but I wish he/she would come forward and accept their medal. I love it. It seems to be a way to say the b word without it sounding so offending.
Really one of the great mysteries of our time.
Probably just someone trying to be cool and spell the word in a new way XP
to avoid censorship from word-spell sensitive programs.
Try typing the real word in, hit the post key, and you will see what I mean.
It developed from the hip-hop/rap culture of the late '80s and early '90s. It was originally more like "bee-itch" but the vowel in "itch" slowly moved down to something like "bee-utch". "Beeyotch" first came to be, as far as I know, in the mouths of dumbass suburban kids (like I was at the time) who listened to too much rap and thought they were cool saying it that way.
That pronunciation was also popularized in the mid-'90s by the MTV cartoon Beavis and Butthead.
As for the spelling? People are probably right that it's spelled that way to look like less of a swearword, to get it past an online censor or one's parents.
